Descripción
CARMENES (Calar Alto high-Resolution search for M dwarfs with Exo-earths
with Near-infrared and optical Echelle Spectrographs) is a
next-generation instrument to be built for the 3.5m telescope at the
Calar Alto Observatory by a consortium of Spanish and German
institutions. Conducting a five-year exoplanet survey targeting ~ 300 M
stars with the completed instrument is an integral part of the project.
The CARMENES instrument consists of two separate spectrographs covering
the wavelength range from 0.52 to 1.7 μm at a spectral resolution of
R = 85, 000, fed by fibers from the Cassegrain focus of the telescope.
The spectrographs are housed in a temperature-stabilized environment in
vacuum tanks, to enable a 1m/s radial velocity precision employing a
simultaneous ThAr calibration.
